In my MapMyIndia Lx130 navigator, I searched for PoI in MH by typing Fiat India Automobiles Ltd. and it showed the exact location, which I saved it in my favourites long back. I just checked the co-ordinates and they tally.

Folks from mumbai: Are we driving down together or seperately? Just have 15 days more and would be a good time to start planning. Ofcourse, i am aware we are still waiting for exact details of the visit :wink:

Another point on the route, for those travelling from mumbai, i think its best to short the route between Urse to Shikrapur. We can exit expressway around urse and take road to Chakan and to Shikrapur. Anyone who has taken this road before, can you comment on the condition of the road?

Hey Harish, I wont be able to get my car, and Ifeel we should have a list of 1)who all from mumbai are going to come,2)How many would be getting their cars, space available 3) How do the remaining intend to travel .

Me for one, would love to travel in the TJet.dont mind my audacity. :clap

1st Dec: Leave Delhi early morning
- Night stay at Udaipur(658km approx) or Ahmedabad(905km approx), based on how much we cover by night
(Reaching Admedabad is very feasible, as NH8 from jaipur to ahmedabad is really good and cars vroom above 120km easily for more than 80% route)
2nd Dec: Leave early morning
- if last stop was Ahmedabad: Night stay at Pune (Ahmedabad to Pune is 654km approx)
- if last stop was Udaipur: Night stay at nearThane ( Udaipur to Thane is 761km approx)

3rd Dec:
- if last stop was Pune: Pune to Fiat Factory is under 60km (hardly one or two hour drive)
- if last stop wasThane: Leave early morning as Thane to Fiat Factory is about 190km (bypassing pune, around 3-4 hour drive)

The route I mentioned above are 99% 4lane route, mostly using NH8, we may shorten the route by 100km if go via Chittorgarh using NH 76,79. But as per my study and understanding NH8 is faster and road condition are good as compare to NH76,79.
